The BBC's short radio documentary "This Are 2 Tone" is a good primer on why The Specials were important, and why they're worth remembering.

Man, my partner's going to be sad. We and some fiends had an impromptu wake for Lemmy last night.
There was bourbon.
Not even in the same firmament, but Guru Josh, rave star, dies aged 51.
Been a bad week for music... and whatever Guru Josh did.

Oh man. More Specials is one of my favorite albums - it's crazy and brilliant.

oh man i was thinking about the specials a bit lately, gangsters came out right at the moment that i was old enough to leave indiscriminate acceptance of top 40 nonsense behind (not to derail but how fantastic did that nonsense actually turn out to be in hindsight? let's not go there) but anyway what a gloriously rude awakening that was, not least because of those tight, insistent snare drum grooves that drilled into you like 'get your arse in gear, dance, move!'

He and Big Rico in the same year. This is a goddamn tragedy for British ska.

Call me immature
Call me a poser
I'd love to spread manure in your bed of roses
Thanks for the soundtrack to my youth-- RIP.
